He said the U S will not use germ warfare and future bio research will focus on defenses such as immunization serums. He asked Senate to ratify the 1925 Geneva protocol banning first use of gas and bacteriological methods, and linked action to an initiative toward peace.

Mansfield To Back Surcharge
Washington AP Sen Mike Mansfield said he will vote reluctantly against a proposal to end the 5 percent income tax surcharge at year end. A Byrd amendment would extend the tax, while President Nixon backs a six month renewal to fund the budget. The Senate debated amendments to a broad tax reform bill as other votes addressed oil, mining, and depletion provisions.
